News on the Web [very old post]

1) GENERAL NEWS SOURCES
You need never buy a newspaper again.
Or, if you've thrown the paper away, you can look up the story in the archives.
2) SPECIALIST NEWS SOURCES
Science and technology are especially well served on the Web, but almost anything is available.
Even specialist news sources which are uneconomical to print, are found on the Web.
3) CHRISTIAN NEWS SOURCES
Some Christian and some of interest to Christians.

1) GENERAL NEWS SOURCES
========================
http://news.bbc.co.uk - UK & world
http://www.cnn.com - world news
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/ - internet edition, searchable back to 1994
http://www.the-times.co.uk/ - internet edition, searchable back to 1996
http://www.guardianunlimited.co.uk/ - internet edition, searchable back to 1998
(sorry for the UK bias)
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ - Washington Post internet edition, and...
http://washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/print/ - the complete print edition!
but free archives are only available for two weeks (as with most US papers)

2) SPECIALIST NEWS SOURCES
=========================

(don't try typing in addresses like this. If you can't click on it, copy and paste it)
There are a HUGE number of other sites, especially Christian ones.
There are about 6 times more Christian sites on the Web than sex sites. We own the Web.
